PVP

I'm looking for another game that is totally open pvp, with consenquences of course...sieges, etc.  Will this game have an open pvp server where clans make the rules basically?  Siege system?

TERA has Open world FFA PVP. As for the siege system, it is currently not in place yet. It's suppose to come in a expansion in spring 2012, for K-TERA.

But the political system and BAMS(Super named monsters)spawns keep guilds fighting one another atm, till the server vs server and siege system is in place.

Here are some World PVP videos

yes, its very much like lineage 2 pvp.  In the sence that you can pvp anywhere and everyone at any time.

except for towns of course.

ur only allies would be ur fellow guild mates once u join a clan.  

 

I have a question to all of you though!

 

There are alot of korean exchange students at my college and one of them saw me reading Tera online news so he started talking to me...

He said that the game is really fun and amazing graphics but the reason why most koreans do not play this game is because the classes are not balanced.

he said that people still play lineage 2 even though the grind sucks the classes are balanced (assuming everyone has decent gear)

Any Intel from anyone? Have the classes been balanced out?  He made a really strong argument and i wont get into all the details but in a nut shell

"classes arnt balanced"

The Evolution patch just dropped in Korea and most of it has to do with pvp & a new PK system.

The classes are fairly balanced at end game with a few exceptions when it comes to 1vs1.   The Dev's are constantly adjusting the classes (priest & sorcerers were adjusted last month).  Archers & Slayers will be the next classes to be tweaked.

I want to add that unlike other games where pvp is treated as a side game to pve, Tera's pvp is integrated into it's endgame political system. You get the usual pvp gear and mounts for your efforts but guilds can use their pvp points towards guild rep needed to win control over a region in the game, which nets that guild even more bonuses.

We are structuring our servers very differently than NHN does for Korea so our rules have to be different.



The exact level isn't locked down for when open world PVP can begin on our PVP servers but it won't be max level. Our opinion is that if you choose to play on a PVP server than once you get your feet wet you should be ready to dive in.
